Problems which you can resolve yourself.
During machine operation it is possible that one of the following alarm codes appears on the display and at the
same time the light starts to flash:
- E10: problem with the water supply

Once the problem has been eliminated, press the START/PAUSE button to restart the programme. If after
all checks, the problem persists, contact your local Service Centre.
